Behind Alexia Langley stood the legacy of three remarkable and indomitable women. There was Charlotte who had survived the Afghan war in Victorian times, Alexandra who had bravely carved a life for herself on a Cornish farm, and Cara, who was Alexia's mother and who was tough and resourceful and a terrific worker on all kinds of committees.The trouble was that Alexia, with the example of three wonderful women behind her, wasn't brave or extraordinary at all. She was nervous and shy and wasn't particularly good at anything except cooking. She was totally unsuited for the free-wheeling world of the 60's, and when Martin Angus made a bee-line for her she let herself fall wildly and gratefully in love. At last someone really liked her, in spite of what she was Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

This continues the saga of generations of English girls from the first volume, "Legacy of Love." One comes of age in 1960s London, and thankfully escapes. Her daughter grows up in a veritable Nirvana in the Scottish Highlands, and feels she must escape. This, alas, appears to occur in one form or another among the youth of today. But there it is. And Trollope/Harvey describes it well and engagingly.
These are not, strictly speaking, romance novels. But they come close, and come with an added dose of historical and geographical detail, the result being total enchantment of the reader, and provoking of thought in the reader. Recommended. ( )
